This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 347 - 326: Mushrooms Targeted Again
This indicates two things.
First, this person is well-hidden and has a dense card pool.
Second, he only brought out three new cards previously unseen in the tournament to face me, indicating he is not careless.
On the contrary, he values me greatly.
So Li Pu has every reason to suspect there are fiercer cards hidden by the opponent.
After some thought, he came to a decision for this action turn.
That is for the entire team to adopt [Defense], preserving strength temporarily.
This is to prevent losing too much health now, which might lead to the opponent revealing a trump card in the next turn, causing significant loss.
As for the [Defense] card that gains attack power with more [Defense] cards, the [Turtle Charger], there’s no need to worry.
Its initial attack power is too low, even with bonuses; it would only scratch the defense of Li Pu’s team.
However, the tattooed man’s choice was completely opposite.
The whole team launched an attack on [Sand Mushroom General], dealing 3 points of scratch damage.
Adding the bond healing at the end of the turn, it recovered 1 point, equating to a mere loss of 2 points.
The second card reveal turn arrives, and Li Pu decides to take the back hand.
So he chooses to reveal [Bulb Mushroom].
[Mushroom Dada!]
The mushroom man, wearing a bulb mushroom cap, leapt off the card.
This time, it was positioned right in the center, behind the [Sand Mushroom General].
In fact, this position is the most optimal one for [Bulb Mushroom].
Because of [Illumination]: Bulb Mushroom heals all allied cards within its proximity by 1 point each turn.
Only in this position can its healing range encompass all allied cards.
"Thankfully, it isn’t that [Piercing] card."
Seeing this, the tattooed man let out a deep breath.
He admits there was an element of gambling in the card arrangement before the match.
But now that he’s won the gamble, it shows his luck is good.
(I’ve certainly won this round.)
He silently raises a flag.
[Buzz Buzz Buzz...]
With the continuous mechanical sound, a square iron projection slowly rises from the card face.
This card was the one Bai Jing sold him before the match.
"Holy cow..."
Witnessing this card, Li Pu couldn’t help but grimace.
What kind of card is this; it’s way too targeted.
[Mushroom Interference Device] -15 points, D
10/10
Attack 0, Defense 0
[Strong Interference]: While the Mushroom Interference Device is on the field, all mushroom cards’ attack/defense/health -3/-3/-3.
Setting aside the fact that the health limit is reduced by 3, Li Pu immediately did a simple arithmetic problem.
Assuming attack and defense equal point value, then as long as he has a mushroom card in this match, it’s equivalent to losing 3+3=6 points.
Two mushroom cards mean 12 points, three mushroom cards mean 18 points.
And when considering the deduction of maximum health, this [Mushroom Interference Device] wins big with three mushroom cards, or at least breaks even with two.
And right now, on his table, he already has... four mushroom cards. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Which means the tattooed man spent 15 points to wipe out Li Pu’s 12 attack, 12 defense, and 12 health!
If it weren’t for the +4 health limit from the [Bulb Mushroom] support, he’d be in a serious deficit.
"Do you know the origin of this card?"
Once convinced of his victory, the tattooed man’s verbosity increased.
"It’s said that somewhere along the Federation boundary, a batch of mechanical beasts and mushroom beasts survives."
"They constantly clash over territory every day."
"Originally, the mushroom beasts held the advantage by numbers, until one day things turned around."
"A mechanical beast evolved into the Mushroom Interference Device due to a miraculous opportunity."
"Under its lead, the mechanical beasts launched an unprecedented counterattack."
"Finally driving the mushroom beasts far away from their territory."
"And my card was obtained from there."
Li Pu did not react much after this speech, but Bai Jing in the audience raised his brows repeatedly.
The kid recited the story quite fluently, almost making it sound like a card he had collected through his own efforts.
In truth, it was something Bai Jing sold him, hmph.
Yet seeing Li Pu in distress made Bai Jing quite happy.
This [Mushroom Interference Device] had been in his hands for quite a while, never getting a chance to appear.
Now selling to an old classmate to help avenge him also reflects its value.
"Oh."
In the end, Li Pu just responded mildly.
In fact, having been using the Mushroom deck for several games, he had long anticipated there would be such a game.
Like Zhuzhu in the last match, there was already a targeted flavor to it.
However, he did not expect the targeting this time to be so intense.
Now, he needs to think about how to turn the situation around.
Fortunately, he has considered this targeted game situation in advance and has several ways to deal with it.
But first, the priority this round is to minimize losses.
As long as he survives this round, everything will be easier to handle.
Due to a Defense -3 BUFF, the Defense stats of [Shield Mushroom], [Sand Mushroom Commander], [Sand Mushroom Bear] in [Defense] status are 2, 5, 2 respectively.
Except for [Sand Mushroom Commander], the rest can be described as fragile, no substantial difference between being in [Defense] and not being in [Defense].
Therefore, after this round, Li Pu suffers heavy losses.
Used score: 52, remaining: 18
[Face-Down Card] [Interference 10] [Face-Down Card]
[Stealth Dog 8] [Turtle General 10] [Showy Duck 10]
VS
[Shield Mushroom 11] [Sand Mushroom 11] [Empty Slot 0]
[Face-Down Card] [Lamp Mushroom 11] [Face-Down Card]
Used score: 33, remaining: 37
The opponent’s [Stealth Dog] only lost 2 health, and he lost the significant figure [Sand Mushroom Bear].
Although he appears to have a score advantage, it’s not real; it’s just an illusion of winning.
"Although there is no saying of surrendering for half loss here, surrendering would make the loss look less humiliating."
The stage for new card reveal choices arrives, and the tattooed man smiles.
In his view, Li Pu has been countered by his [Mushroom Interference Device] with no solution.
"Oh."
Yet Li Pu still responds in the same manner, then activates [Substitution], completing his choice.
After both sides complete their choices, the game enters the reveal stage again.
[Charge, charge, charge!]
The tattooed man’s revealed card is the one behind [Fierce Showy Duck].
It is a gigantic wild bull with curled horns and horns emanating with thunder.
[Thunder Bull] -5 points, D
10/10
Attack 2, Defense 1
[Thunder Horn]: Thunder Bull attacks the same target twice, causing [Paralysis].
([Paralysis]: target cannot act this round)
The tattooed man’s score is low, so this position can only fit a high-cost-performance control card.
With [Fierce Showy Duck] ahead as a shield, it can freely output control without fear of being shot with only 1 defense.
[Moo~!]
Coincidentally, Li Pu reveals another bull card as well.
And the projection of his bull card appears even more formidable than the tattooed man’s.
It is a projection of a giant bull with blood-red eyes, featuring three horns on the left, center, and right, with strange spiral patterns across its body.
As soon as it charges out from the card, it storms through the air recklessly, looking extremely violent.
"What?!"
When the tattooed man sees this card clearly, his face changes dramatically.
"Why isn’t it a Mushroom card?!"
He feels betrayed by Li Pu.
It’s not just because it isn’t a Mushroom card, but more importantly, this card completely counters [Mushroom Interference Device]!
It feels like, after all the calculations, he was still outwitted by someone else.
At this moment, as this card is revealed, the audience is buzzing.
"Whoa, what card is this? It feels like I’ve never seen it before."
"Seems similar to [Triangle Bull Leader], but not entirely..."
"What a miraculous card, I wish I had one too."
"With this card revealed, the situation reverses immediately."
But the strongest reaction comes from Bai Jing.
At this very moment, he stands up from his seat.
If [Stealth Dog] was an elite among C-rank cards, then the card Li Pu just revealed is undoubtedly the elite among elites!
